On May 10, Mya Anthony ran the Geneva Generali Marathon for the Concussion Legacy Foundation Canada, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Mya is an avid cheerleader, and unfortunately sustained a concussion in 2024 as a result of the sport she loved.

Through her healing journey, she learned a lot about herself, and shared the trials and tribulations online with her community as she trained for the Geneva Generali Marathon on behalf of the Concussion Legacy Foundation Canada.

Thanks to Mya’s incredible dedication and the support of her community, she surpassed her fundraising goal and raised more than $1,900 to support more people like her!

Mya, thank you for your strength, vulnerability, determination, and advocacy. Your impact will go far beyond the finish line.

Today is the anniversary of Rowan Stringer's passing, and we want to share her story.

Rowan was a rugby player in Ottawa, Ontario who tragically passed away from Second Impact Syndrome (SIS) at the age of 17. She suffered multiple concussions within the same week without informing her parents or coaches.

Rowan's death was officially reported as preventable. An innocent life was lost due to multiple hits to the head. Her parents pushed for change and Rowan's Law was created to help save other children in sports from these same injuries and fatalities.

We’ve already made progress. But we still have work to do.

Right now, Ontario is the only jurisdiction in Canada with concussion legislation.

We need legislators and leaders in sport to come together to improve safety in sport for our kids. Join us in helping protect children in sports, and contact your Ministry of Sport office to share your support.

92% of Canadians support stronger rules to prevent brain injuries in sport.

93% want national standards to protect kids.

That’s not a debate – that’s a mandate.

Soccer is everywhere in Canada right now. Kids are back on the field, families are on sidelines every evening, and the World Cup is coming to Canada.

Our new data shows overwhelming support for stronger protections in youth sport, including one clear step: removing heading in soccer for children under 13.

We’ve already seen changes like this in other sports, and in countries like the US and UK Now it’s time for soccer in Canada to follow.

Because kids should be able to play the sports they love safely. Share this and join us in driving change.

If your concussion symptoms haven’t gone away, you’re not alone.

Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) can affect people for weeks, months, or longer after the initial injury. It’s frustrating, invisible, and often misunderstood, but support and recovery are possible.

Learn more about what PCS looks like, why it happens, and where to turn for help at the Concussion Guidebook at our Linktree in bio.

Not every fall results in a visible injury. Sometimes, the most serious consequence isn’t a broken bone or a bruise it’s what happens inside the skull.

Concussions can occur even without direct impact to the head. They’re often overlooked, especially when symptoms are delayed or subtle. But acting early makes a difference.

This post outlines what to watch for in the first 24 to 48 hours after a fall and how to respond. Whether it happened on the ice, during a game, or at home, knowing the signs can help protect your brain and your long-term health.

She fought for her country, and she's fighting for you, too.

Today, on Women's Brain Health Day, MWO (Ret.) Erica Oliver shares how one policy change has impacted her life following her service. As someone who has been open about her struggles after sustaining brain injuries during her military career, today she can finally get the recognition and care she deserves. And you can, too.

We know brain injuries are an inherent risk in service. And now, the new TBI Claims policy recognizes that as well. We thank Erica and all of the Veterans who have been fighting for this change. Strength isn’t just on the battlefield,it’s in speaking up for those still fighting unseen battles.

If you have served and are struggling with brain injury, our Support Line is here to help you get the care you need and deserve. Reach out to us today: concussionfoundation.org/en-ca/support-line/
